Re: [meteorite-list] Fw: RFSPOD - February 9, 2010 Buzzard Coulee Blue Inclusion
Hi Bernd & all, Maybe it's possible but it's about 150X bigger than my Isheyevo Hibonite-bearing CAI or chondrule. Probably too big? Actually, I wish you could see this feature in person Bernd. The best way I can describe it is to say that is looks just like the iridescent blue colour of a Peacocks feather. I was sent a pic off list by another collector who has a similar smaller feature on a very fresh NWA (~L3, W0/1). There is a brassy yellow one (troilite?) with a smaller blue one like mine next to it. Both look like melted metal on the surface. I know Mark had one other much larger Buzzard with a similar thing too. Has anyone else seen this or know what could cause it?

Re: [meteorite-list] 2005 - No Falls? Any promising candidatesinhiding?
Hi Rob, There was also the massive fireball over Western Australia in December 2005 which made international news. There was another one also caught by the Japanese network in March 2005. Both are viewable on my Meteorite Films page. http://www.meteorites.com.au/films/ Cheers, Jeff - Original Message - From: "Matson, Robert D."

Hi List, According to all authoritative sources, there were no officially recognized meteorite falls in the year 2005. 2005 is the only year in the young 21st century not to have a recognized fall. So, were there ever any promising reports of falls from that year that were never followed-up on, or were overlooked in some way? Or perhaps there was a fall, but is not available to the public or available for classification? Will 2005 go down as a "goose egg" year in the annals of meteorite falls? I know this sounds like a silly topic to bring up in the year 2010, but looking back on the numbers since 2000, 2005 stands out like an anomaly.

[meteorite-list] "Martin Cubes" Antiqued wood scale cubes Ad
Hi list, As I have mentioned to the list previously, I have stared making wood scale/orientation cubes. There are a couple versions of these things. One is the new cube with a simple oil finish. The other is an old wood finished with several layers of toasted and striped Danish Oil and varnish then tumbled in a brass tumbler (No grit) just long enough to wear edges. I have a habit of coming up with names for things like "Perfect Chondrule" or "Ugly Black Stuff" and a name has emerged for these antique style cubes. I thought some of you might like the story. After making some simple wood cubes I showed pictures to Jeff Kuyken and it was his idea that these would be good for use with historic meteorites. Well, historic meteorites naturally made me think of Martin Horejsi. In fact for most of us, when historic meteorites are mentioned we think of Martin! He is an expert in historic meteorites and has been witting articles on them in Meteorite Magazine and Meteorite Times for years. We also are friends. We have cut and polished more than a few of his treasures while talking about rocks. His knowledge is amazing and what's better he has interesting stories about nearly all of their histories. He wrote a "From the Strewnfields" article about one of those days in the August 2006 issue of Meteorite Magazine. I have mentioned before how meticulous Martin is. His style is total precision while mine is quick. It was hilarious to watch us get ready to cut one of his rare historic stones. I think my "grab and cut" approach drove him mad. He once muttered something to the effect of "That might be OK for an sun scorched NWA but not this rock" Anyway, I tried to create some thing cool. I wanted to come up with a cube that even Martin would put next to his Ensisheim. As I worked on them, such as when I went on one of my frequent trips down to the work shop to check on the batch in the toaster oven or some other thing, I told my wife "I'm going down to check on the Martin cubes" That name has stuck and they are now known as Martin Cubes. They were a pain to make so I am not sure if I will produce an other batch. If I hear Martin has placed one in his showcase next to his Ensisheim slice, I will know I did a good job! I have ordinary wood cubes I am including with my eBay sales such as this one. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=260550364645&ssPageName=S TRK:MESELX:IT These are clean and fresh, made of new pine. They still go with the historic finds but they have just a simple linseed oil finish. So if you see my listings you will know there is a difference. This is not really an ad but I am linking an auction so it is in the subject line. __ Visit the Archives at http://www.meteoritecentral.com/mailing-list-archives.html Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list

[meteorite-list] Craterwrongs – A Term Whose Ti me Has Come ??
Given the ever increasing number of feature, which can be demonstrated not to be impact craters, that are being proclaimed to be impact craters, maybe it is time to start using the term “craterwrong”. An example of one of these blatant “craterwrongs” can be seen in the You Tube presentation “End of an Era - Part 1 The Clovis impact” at: http://www.youtube.com/user/dredawgz1 Another set of craterwrongs can be seen in “Comets” at; http://www.atlantia.de/atlantis_english/myth/doom/atlantis_comets.htm and in the book, "The Secret of Atlantis", by Otto Muck at: http://www.scribd.com/doc/16206238/The-Secret-of-Atlantis-by-Otto-Muck The amazing aspect of the above craterwrongs is that the oceanic trenches and the bottoms of the Arctic Ocean being claimed to be impact craters even lack any sign of being circular features. It would seem that having some sort of circular (or even oval) feature would be the minimum, basic starting point for any such claims.
